  • Empowering Young Heroes with Amari and the Night Brothers”

    Funded Apr 12, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to ensure our classroom has a full class set of your book. It's incredibly powerful for our students to know that the author of the story they're about to read personally supported their learning. Your gift has brought a new level of excitement and engagement into our room. Students are already asking questions, making predictions, and looking forward to diving into the story together. Because of you, every student will have the chance to hold their own copy, follow along closely, annotate, and experience the book fully. This not only supports their academic growth, but also builds a personal connection to reading that we hope will last far beyond our classroom walls. Thank you for believing in the power of books and in the potential of our students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Jones

I am a 6th grade teacher in the Alisal school district in Salinas, Ca. The school where I teach is in a high-need community. There is a strong gang presence in the neighborhood and my students are looking for a safe alternative.
